RELOCATION

Hey guys,

I am terrible at blogging, so I have started afresh over at www.sixkilosofpumpkin.blogspot.com

Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon

I have had a rather splendid weekend, topped off by the fact that I am now finished for the semester! Until exams in two weeks. BUT for now, I am quite fine!

I went to see The Room last night at a midnight screening. It was simultaneously the best and worst two hours of my life, and I strongly encourage you all to go and see it. With plastic spoons in hand.





That was essentially the highlight of my weekend. Really. "OH HI MARK"

Day Zero

In which Emily remembers to blog

Hello! I am being very lazy/swamped with assessments/playing too much Plants vs. Zombies and Robot Unicorn Attack. So! This is what I have been doing since my last

- Playing croquet at a picnic.

- Having a birthday! That was fun. Even better was my birthday cake.

- Reading comics. I am such a comic noob, but Brad got me this for my birthday and I really loved it:

- Procrastinating hand washing. I have a huge pile of handwash-only clothes, and I am FAR too unmotivated to do it. Sadly, they're all favourite clothes so my wardrobe is sad without them :(

- Getting back into beanies/beret things! Often with hilarious results, I tucked all my hair into a red sequinned one and my housemates forced me to take it off because I looked so silly.

A bit of laughter for your day

Hope you're all rugged up and staying warm today! I saw this on Sarah Wilson's blog and it made me laugh.

Simplicity

After my horrendously decadent birthday list, I thought I would make another, better list! My list obsession is coming back out :D So, here is my list of simple, happy things that I have enjoyed lately. Some might even say, things that I love on this fine Thursday! :o

- Skyping my lovely cousin who I don't speak to nearly enough

- Finally "getting" these songs I'm learning on piano

- Tennessee Williams. Always.

- Starting my day with a pot of tea and two slices of bread (untoasted!) with Nutella

- Impromptu How I Met Your Mother, talking over 3 cups of tea, staying up until 1am catchups

- Sleeping in! (sadly, this did not follow the aforementioned 1am catchup...)

- Job interviews! Even if I don't get the jobs, its nice to know things must be picking up

- thxthxthx and the gorgeous thankyou notes

one of my favourite thxthxthx posts

Wishlist!

I'll admit, this post has been slowly simmering on the backburner for a while. I'll start it, get distracted, save it, go shopping, come home, read some more blogs, find more stuff I want, and the list is getting slowly longer. Therefore, it's no longer a birthday list per se, but a wishlist of things I hope to one day own. Let us proceed.

1. Books!

How many times can I say this - POPULAR PENGUINS. Seriously, guys. Get into that. I only have five and that is a very minute percentage of the series.

Speaking of series, (what a smooth segue!) the INTRODUCING... series are fantastic. I have Philosophy and Psychology, and I think it would be splendid to have more.

And this book, I really want to learn to make a coathanger wine rack or whatever business they're recycling:



The Book of Awesome sounds amazing. I've read a bit of the site, and as much as Jimmy Macbook has a special place in my heart, its much more fantastical to curl up in bed with a pot of tea and a book. Rather than, you know, a macbook.

2. A(n?) MOR teapot candle

Mum and I saw these while we were shopping for a present for her nurse last month and it pains me that I didn't buy it right then and there.

3. T2 Teas

Unless you want to venture down to Tealicious House in Dunsborough, T2 teas are the next best thing. Especially in their limited-edition canisters. I only have Gorgeous Geisha in that canister, and I adore the Turkish Apple tea, and... oh, why do I even bother to elaborate? Any tea is glorious. As long as it has a canister for me to store it in :D

4. Tea accessories

I now have three teapots! But I would still like more. What is even more pressing than a new teapot, however, is a milk jug. I long for a darling little milk jug to put out with my teas so its not a dainty teapot and teacup and big plastic 2L milk bottle.

5. Anything from Modcloth. Seriously.

But these are some of the things I love:

Eight A Day water bottle

Storytime Clock



All the Better to Brew You With cup

6. The Gala Darling podcasts

I love Gala Darling. She is fantastic, and humorous, and I think her podcasts would be an excellent addition to my life. However, I don

Let's be honest, I'm going a little overboard on my list. So I'll cease it here, although remind you about these aprons that I love, and hopefully you've had a splendid time looking :D
